About the Item

A Renaissance Revival Carved White Statuary Marble Centre or Garden Table. The replaced rectangular Carrara marble top with ogee bevel-cut edge. It is supported on two lyre-shaped table ends carved in fine white statuary marble with volutes and winged female mask terminals above fruiting garlands. Between are seated cherubs embracing beneath an arch. Tables with carved marble figural end supports are associated with the Renaissance period and were themselves inspired by Roman models. The Sphinx-like supports and strapwork carving to the present lyre-shaped ends can be called Renaissance revival, but the embracing cherubs are more sympathetic and typical of late 19th century romanticism. The tenderly modelled cherubs, representing all-conquering love, look as if they are lifted from a painting by Bouguereau. Beautifully sculpted and finely detailed, such tables are more sculpture than furniture and were carved in the Florentine workshops of sculptors such as Antonio Frilli and Raffaello Romanelli. The height of the table lends itself to use as a centre table or drinks table, either inside, or outside as a garden or terrace table. The height is perfect for the use with high stools as a dining table. Italy, Circa 1890.

George IV Centre Table Attributed to Thomas & George Seddon, circa 1830
By Thomas & George Seddon
Located in Brighton, West Sussex
A Very Fine George IV Parcel-Gilt Amboyna Centre Table Attributed to Thomas & George Seddon. English, Circa 1830. The table is of finely figured Amboyna with a circular tilt-top above a triform column with parcel-gilt scrolled supports. It is raised on a conforming plinth base with foliate carved feet and concealed castors. George Seddon was the eighth child of John Seddon of Blakelea, Lancashire. His father apprenticed him to George Clemaphon of Cripplegate to learn cabinet making. He became a master cabinet maker. (He was Master of the Joiner’s Company in 1795). In the early 1750s he was sufficiently successful to acquire London House, Aldersgate Street. It consisted of extensive workshops, where furniture was made, and showrooms to display the finished products. London House had formerly been a palace of the Bishops of London. The panelled state-rooms were ideal for the display of fashionable furniture; and the chapel and library made convenient workshops. When Seddon married, he converted the garden house and infirmary into the family home. Seddon was the biggest furniture maker of his time. His furniture store covered a two acre site in Aldersgate Street. His workshop there was described by London visitor Sophie v. La Roche in 1786: "We drove first to Mr. Seddon's, a cabinet-maker,...He employs four hundred apprentices on any work connected with the making of household furniture—joiners, carvers, gilders...
